I've never cried while watching a movie before...


Owen Wilson is simply the best. That scene where Jennifer Aniston puts her necklace in, God. I thought I was done crying. Was i wrong...
I think I'm afraid of getting a dog now...

If you don't cry to that scene, you don't have a heart.

I've known big tall men crumble into a baby when their dog or cat died,
it's the best part of what makes us human.

I'll second that. My first job after college was with a retired Army full bird colonel who had started a small business. I don't have a military background and it was a bit of a culture shock because his management style was very, well, military. He was not a share your feelings kind of guy if you know what I mean. Anyway, you work at a small business and everyone pretty much knows everything about each other. I saw him go through marital difficulties, serious illness in the family, money problems, you name it. But the only time I ever saw him break down was when his Chocolate Lab hunting dog got sick and passed. As far as I'm concerned, nobody is immune to that particular heartbreak.

It's rough. I still cry sometimes thinking about my dog that died 10 years ago. Now I have another dog and she's 10 so I will have to face another hard goodbye.

I cry like such a baby when I watch this. It makes me think of my Golden Retriever. When I first saw this movie it was just a few weeks after I lost him and that was such a huge mistake. Now when I watch it i think of him and I hold my 2 dogs I have now so tight.

I cry everything I watch this movie...it just pulls at the heartstrings. I guess it's because I have a dog and my roommate has a dog and with the 2 dogs between us, it hurts to think that someday we might have to put one of the dogs down.

I'm not even a dog person and I cried - and still cry - at the end of this film. Thing is, I cry just as much for John and Jenny as I do for Marley. You see their relationship - their evolution - from the very start.
